In the past, Andre had strongly opposed the canards, but at that time Andre was not completely against the duck-style layout. Andre opposed the plane that equipped the Su-27 with canards and turned into three-winged surfaces. It seemed majestic, but in fact the harm outweighed the benefits.

Although Andre did not agree with the aircraft that was originally a duck-style layout, he did not express his extreme disgust. After all, in later generations, except for the United States, almost all new fighter jets were in the duck-style layout, which means that this type of aircraft also has advantages, especially in terms of instantaneous rotation performance. The duck-style layout is originally called a head-up layout, and it is not a blow to move.

Andre just disgusted with the Migoyang Design Bureau not taking invisibility seriously, and putting all the blockages on plasma stealth technology.

Now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has obviously left a backup plan. Under its own suggestion, Sukhoi's fastest forming plan is of course to make stealth improvements based on the Su-27, similar to the T-50 plan. At the same time, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has also chosen a duck-style layout plan!

Andre is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to understand everything. Andre's advantage lies in the emergence of these unknowns from later generations. In specific academics, they are definitely not as good as these old scholars.

Moreover, as a test pilot in his previous life, Andrei has always been a test pilot, and has not been exposed to too many stealth designs. As for the J-31 created by Shen Fei, hehe...

So, in fact, in Andrei's heart, he does not completely reject the duck-style layout. Now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau also wants to do both ways at the same time. It can be seen that the Sukhoi Design Bureau is not very at ease with its plan, and at the same time, he is determined to win!

With these two giants competing with each other, choosing the best from them is the most suitable way!

"I am just a pilot, not an expert, I respect your choice," Andre said. "But will it take your energy to develop these two aircraft at the same time?"

You should know that in history, the Migoyang Design Bureau only studied a type of MiG144, which took a lot of energy and time. In the end, the Soviet Union collapsed and it was not done.

Now, Sukhoi Design Bureau has done two types at the same time! If this happens, will you lack energy?

"Of course not. Our two aircraft actually have a lot in common," Simonov said. "At the same time, our new duck-style fighter has a higher foothold. When designing, we consider it more as a newer generation of fighter jets. For example, the weapon of this aircraft is designed to be equipped with electromagnetic guns."

Electromagnetic gun! With the continued development of the Soviet economy, sufficient funds have been supported for the research and development of various black technologies. Orbital laser weapons are one type, and electromagnetic guns can also be regarded as another. Until now, Andre has finally matched the fighter in front of him with the one in history.

No matter what future generations are, at least now, the Sukhoi Design Bureau is really working hard. After all, in the third-generation aircraft project, the Su-27 has stabilized the MiG-29, and in the fourth-generation aircraft project, the Sukhoi Design Bureau still needs to accumulate strength and continue to strive.

As for what will be developed in the future, even Andre is very much looking forward to it. Now, Andre cannot deny such a big guy. After all, if the technology is too advanced, the risk of R&D is also very high. As for who will be the new generation of fighter jets, this is an important progress for the Soviet aviation industry!

After half a day of visiting the Sukhoi Design Bureau, Andre and his group arrived at the Gromov Test Flight Institute in Zhukovsky.

Last year, the Moscow Air Show was held here. It attracted many tourists to watch it, opened the window of Moscow for the people of the world, and let them understand what kind of scene it was like in the Western media. Facts are better than words. The Soviet advanced technology level, strong cultural atmosphere, good living environment and wage level made the West realize that this country is full of vitality.

After the air show, the place returned to tranquility, and as an important aviation research base for the Soviets, the confidentiality here is also quite high.

After experiencing several gateways and finally entering the test flight yard, Andre was shocked again.

Originally, Andre came here mainly to see the new aircraft from Sukhoi Design Bureau. However, he did not see this aircraft, but was shocked by an aircraft on the runway that was about to test flight.

From the rear of the fuselage, it looks like a MiG-25, with a huge rectangular air intake, double-engine and double-sided tail, but the wingspan seems to have become larger. At the same time, the front fuselage is different from the MiG-25. You can see that the fuselage is obviously lengthened and widened. There are portholes on the side, which looks like a passenger aircraft, but it is a little small. It seems that it is good to accommodate a single row of things.

That one seems to be the MiG-25 version supersonic passenger plane?

MiG-25 once supported the Soviet sky. Under Andre's operation, MiG-25 was like a giant dragon flying in the air, suppressing the Western world and breathing.

However, although the MiG-25 is not decrypted like in later generations, the MiG-25 is still outdated and only relies on high altitude and high speed to win survival space. When the opponent's air defense missile is upgraded, there will be problems. Now, in the Western arsenal, several types of missiles are specifically optimized for the MiG-25.

Therefore, the MiG-25 is gradually withdrawing from active service, and the upgraded MiG-31 cannot be melee combat. It is just an ultra-long-range interceptor, and has even developed the ability of an early warning aircraft to command several MiG-29s or Su-27s to fight.

It was also in this case that Andre proposed the idea of ​​transforming the MiG-25 into a supersonic business passenger plane. This was originally a plan of the Migoyan Design Bureau, and now it is just used to fool the big dog owners in the Middle East.

With the situation of cheating and threats, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and other countries have placed orders to buy this supersonic business passenger plane that is still on paper. After that, Andre has never paid attention to it. Now, he happened to see the test flight of this supersonic business passenger plane, how could he not be excited!
